Ukraine significantly weakens the military potential of the Russian Federation in Crimea — British intelligence

Ukraine's strikes on occupied Crimea continue to significantly reduce the military potential of the Russian army. In particular, among the affected targets are airfields, command posts, oil depots and the Crimean bridge.

Points of attention

  • Ukrainian strikes in Crimea are reducing the military potential of the Russian army, and targets include airfields, command posts and oil depots.
  • British intelligence confirms successful attacks by Ukrainian forces on Russian military facilities in occupied Crimea.
  • Military targets targeted in 2024 included air defense systems, naval facilities and a bridge across the Kerch Strait.
  • The defense forces successfully hit the sea oil terminal in Feodosia, which is a strategic object for the Russian army in the occupied Crimea.
  • The undermining of the military and economic potential of the Russian Federation in Crimea continues thanks to the actions of Ukrainian forces, which strike strategic objects.

Thus, British intelligence confirms that Ukrainian attacks are gradually undermining Russian military capabilities in Crimea.

Among the objects that became targets in 2024 were air defense systems, airfields, command centers, naval facilities, logistics and a bridge across the Kerch Strait, the British Ministry of Defense reports.

Defense forces hit the oil terminal of the Russian army in Feodosia

On the night of October 7, the defense forces successfully struck the sea oil terminal of the Russian occupiers in Feodosia, temporarily occupied Crimea.

The military was reminded that the Feodosia terminal is the largest in Crimea in terms of transshipment of petroleum products, which were used, in particular, to meet the needs of the occupation army of the Russian Federation.

The task was carried out by units of the missile forces of the Armed Forces in cooperation with other components of the Defense Forces.

Measures to undermine the military and economic potential of the Russian Federation are ongoing, the Armed Forces reported.

By the way, JSC "Marine Oil Terminal" is the largest in Crimea in terms of transshipment of petroleum products.

In March 2024, 4 drones fell on the territory of the oil depot at once. The main fuel pumping pipeline was damaged as a result of the attack, and a fire broke out. Then workers were evacuated from the oil depot. That time, it took an hour and a half to extinguish the fire.
